Viva The Oral Tradition!

Moth is such an awesome, uplifting, stark (in both depths of beauty and abject anguish at times) testament to the human experience, survival instinct, wit, luck, hilarious perspective (...you name it) and of course the timeless art of storytelling. I love this podcast. More!
